Having Jessie as a midwife enabled me to have the most beautiful pregnancy and birth experience. I feel so grateful that I had the ability to have a home birth because it was a life changing and transformative experience, and that was in no small part due to who Jessie is and how she works. Contrasting from OB care where every appointment is hurried and routine, Jessie invests in you as a person. Appointments are up to one hour and explore all aspects of health: physical, emotional, mental, etc. Jessie has a magical way about her in the way she advises you and listens that's non-judgmental but supportive. I felt so empowered and supported through it all. During the birth, I'll never forget when Jessie looked me in the eye as I neared the end and told me the only way out was through and I took a big breath and powered through. We did a home, water birth and it was the most special experience. I hope more and more women are able to navigate pregnancy and birth with Jessie or midwives like her. And overall I left this experience wiser about my own body and health, prepared to care for our baby, more confident and more. read more

This review is long over due. First and foremost the quality of care you will receive from Jessie prenatally and postpartum is like nothing you will ever experience from a traditional OB/ Provider. She is genuinely caring, compassionate, nurturing and responsive. We had a few scares during our pregnancy that of course had to happen later at night and she was quick to answer and respond in a calm but urgent way. The same has been true postpartum. She ALWAYS has you & your babies health and best interests in mind when discussing options and care. She is informative and relays the perfect mix of holistic/ evidence based medicine and western medicine if needed. Once you have a conversation with her you'll understand why she is the best. Jessie, We love you so much and we are so grateful that you were with us every step of the way to bring our baby girl into the world happy and healthy. read more

There is no rating that would adequately portray how incredible the care and experience received by Jessie and her team is, -five stars is simply not enough! It is difficult to express how much gratitude and appreciation I have for her and her team as words can only begin to describe the care I received, the remainder of which is what can be felt. It can be challenging and scary to find a midwife who is experienced enough to make you feel safe and confident during your pregnancy and birth, and also to be able to build a sense of trust and knowing, and know that all of your personal choices, concerns, and feelings are being taken into account. As a fellow registered nurse, who also has experience working with pregnant and laboring women, I was exceptionally particular about my choice. Jessie was beyond what I wanted and needed. Every step of the way, she exuded experience, compassion, respect, and attention to detail. Every ounce of Jessie could be felt in her care. Not one issue was overlooked or dismissed. She is truly the epitome of holistic midwifery. I felt absolutely confident in her knowledge and experience, and her dedication to ensuring my upmost mental, physical, and emotional well-being as well as that of my family's. Through our time together, I bonded in ways I never knew were possible with a healthcare professional, and our birth and postpartum experience was nothing short of stellar. Jessie truly upholds her name, Gold Soul. She is a golden soul, an angel, a goddess, and will be the light you and your family need to guide you through your journey into motherhood. I wholeheartedly support and recommend Jessie to anyone seeking a home birth and midwife experience. I am forever changed, forever grateful. read more

I have immense gratitude and respect for Jessie's passion, and dedication to helping women and babies. She was my midwife for my first baby and I found her in my last trimester. I interviewed over 10 midwives all over Orange County and LB and she stood out for me because of her kindness, honesty, and depth of knowledge. My prenatal appointments with her were amazing, she took the TIME to talk to me about my personal experience in pregnancy and my health. She is wonderful, I'm a person who really is drawn to someone's warmth, and especially during pregnancy, you need people around you to comfort and give you love. She is that midwife! We planned an amazing home birth, but my baby had other plans! She came early and we were unable to have our homebirth. I ended up having to go to the hospital. But Jessie had connected me with an amazing doula and she was there by phone at every moment. Afterward, Jessie came to visit me for my postnatal care at home. She answered all my texts at any time. She dropped by with gifts and tons of love. She was there for me emotionally because I struggled with breastfeeding. It was a blessing to have her from prenatal care to postnatal care. I love her, she has become a friend. I just wanted to share this review because I know it's hard to find a midwife for a home birth. I hope all the expecting moms who read this can feel my excitement in recommending her and also I send you all big hugs. read more

I could literally talk forever about Jessie!!! She is a godsend. I knew I wanted to hire Jessie as soon as I started interviewing her. She would ABSOLUTELY be my midwife for our second baby but we moved to NorCal. I would recommend Jessie in a heartbeat to anyone and everyone. She has such a calming presence and she truly cares about her people :) Okay I'll stop writing now because you are probably tired of reading. Lol but if you have any specific questions feel free to reach out to me read more

Choosing to do a home birth with Jessie may just be one of the best decisions in my life. At 20 weeks, I chose to leave the birth center and midwives I had started with at the beginning of my pregnancy to embark on a home birth with Jessie as my midwife. It was a scary leap at the time but one I'm so grateful for following my heart and taking. I felt so held by Jessie's expertise, warmth and genuine love for what she does. There was nothing I couldn't tell her or ask her about. She helped me have the birth of my dreams and feel so supported both pre and postpartum. Her level of care is unparalleled and I felt so safe in her hands throughout the entire journey and especially during my labor. I couldn't recommend her highly enough. If you are lucky enough to have the opportunity to be under her care, snatch it up! She is truly a gem in every way. read more

After a few months into my pregnancy, I was exhausted from navigating the conventional hospital route with my prenatal visits. After an extensive search on the internet I magically came across Jessie's website and my gut said YES. Luckily she was available to be my midwife! I had a difficult pregnancy up until that point as I suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, and Jessie was able to support and nourish the last few months of my pregnancy as I was severely mineral depleted. During our time together I felt totally held, safe and supported in her care and knew that whatever birth story I would end up having would be beautiful because I was empowered. My birth was quick, but there were difficulties. She was right there every step of the way helping me navigate what would have been an emergency situation and a possible cesarean section. I am so grateful for her medical expertise, care and precision in those pivotal moments. Words cannot convey how wonderful Jessie is. If I could have ten more babies just to continue working with her, I would. I cannot recommend her enough - My whole pregnancy, birth and postpartum journey are memories I will never forget and I am so grateful she came into our lives. We love you Jessie! read more

Jessie is amazing! We changed from planning a hospital birth to home birth when I was 36wks. My husband and I change due us feeling like we were meat in a conveyor belt and there was a possibility that my husband would not be able to be with me when I delivered our daughter at the hospital due to the fact we aren't vaccinated. We didn't want to take that chance. We did our research and loved all the reviews Jessie had. We loved her from the get go. She made us feel at ease and comfortable. When I was going to give birth in the hospital I was scared AF because all I was told was all negative things. With Jessie she educated my husband and Me about birth & pregnancy, I felt much more comfortable and even excited about giving birth to our little girl. Jessie was very thorough and was all about the safety of momma & baby. She had a plan for if anything went wrong. She was prepared for anything. I had a smooth delivery. My baby was out in less than 5min. She also does postpartum visits which were amazing. Thank you Jessie read more

Gold Soul Midwifery - Jessie w/our baby girl - Placenta Encapsulations Near Me - La Mirada, California

I truly don't know where to begin! After a not-so-great hospital birth with my 1st, I kept feeling called to explore the option of a homebirth and working with a midwife for my 2nd...I found Jessie through yelp and her amazing reviews and wow, they are all true and so much more! The time that Jessie spent with my husband and I to educate and empower us, was amazing. With this being my 2nd pregnancy, I didn't think I would learn much, but I learned more than I could have ever imagined. She is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, kind and just everything I would ever want in a care provider. There are truly no words to describe how grateful I am to have met Jessie and had her care for me, my son, and my family as a whole. read more

Hiring Jessie was the BEST decision we made for our pregnancy and birth. First of all, she is so sweet, most kind, and a truly caring person. When we interviewed her, I connected with her right away, and LOVED her personality. When hiring a doula, it's a MUST to feel a connection, as Birth and labor is a very intimate moment and need someone you feel very comfortable with, and know they will be there for YOU, not just because. During pregnancy, Jessie was available to answer any questions, and concerns I had. She responded in a timely manner and as a first time pregnancy, I had so many questions, and was very helpful! On the day when I was in labor, Jessie was available via telephone, and when I needed her, she came over. I was in intense back labor pain, and Jessie helped me to get through the labor with her soft, calming voice. She was there for me and my husband (allowing him to eat and rest) during the labor. I had a hard and enduring labor but she made it bit easier. During the whole labor (at home, birthing Center and hospital), Jessie was by our side. She was such a great source of care, love, and advice. She never pushed her advice on us for the next decision, but she always made sure we knew our options, and THAT was so IMPORTANT. If it wasn't for that, we may have been in a very dangerous and unsafe path for me and baby. I am truly thankful for Jessie, and now we have a healthy and beautiful baby boy! I am well, and daddy too. Don't hire a doula based on price alone, hire someone that you can literally trust YOUR life with. You are birthing a human being, a miracle of life, and would you not want someone who you know you can trust will be there for you? Thank you Jessie for all your true love, care, and support! We are forever grateful! You are a wonderful human being! We love you!! read more

Jessie has forever changed our lives and we are sooooo thankful we met her! I had a c-section with my first baby and with the second I didn't want to be forced to do a c-section again. Jessie is so kind and patient and best of all she wants what is truly best for you and always has your best interest at heart. Our prenatal visits were so refreshing compared to visiting a traditional obgyn. She focuses on the whole body including mental health and makes you feel so comfortable. We feel incredibly lucky to continue to have Jessie in our lives and we would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of using a midwife and having a home birth! read more

We knew Jessie was "the one" when we were interviewing doulas for our first child's birth. Within minutes of our phone consultation, Jessie had sized us up as a couple; asking about our families, our thoughts, and feeling out where we were on our birth journey. Her calm, professional demeanor was coupled with a profound ability to assure and remind a first time mama that the love for your partner that got you to this moment in pregnancy would be the same love that would later carry and support you into your role as a new mom. Jessie was amazing at meeting us both right where we were at that moment. Throughout my pregnancy I felt supported and that she was invested in me, my family, and our pregnancy. It was amazing to have such a wonderful support person on our journey with us. read more

I cant say enough about how blessed i was to find Jessie in such a short amount of time. Jessie was my midwife and a god sent . She did an amazing job and provided us with tons of insight and allowed my partner to feel at ease with an at home birth. she was very calm throughout my labor which kept me relaxed. Jessie was outstanding with providing the best advice and allowed me at times to try on my own without intervention when intervention was need she executed it and always asked for consent beforehand. For example needing a catheter or not. I highly recommend Jessie to anyone looking for a midwife. My partner also stated he would hire Jessie for the next birth. read more

We LOVE Jessie! Our pregnancy journey and home birth was hands down, the best experience we could ever ask for!! Jessie is one of the greatest women I've ever met and she is immensely knowledgeable, supportive, loving, and so fun to be around. Her connection with babies, even before they're born, is incredible. She also encapsulated my placenta after the birth. We already plan on working with Gold Soul Midwifery for our next pregnancy and birth. 5 stars, 10/10 would recommend, two thumbs up...Jessie at Gold Soul Midwifery is the best! read more

I don't even know where to begin! Jessie was such an amazing midwife for the birth of my son (7/9/2022). I found her after researching just about every midwife I could find, the moment I met her I knew she was the perfect fit for our family. She has such a way of making everyone feel welcomed. She made me feel comfortable and safe through out my whole pregnancy. I fully trust her and her abilities in helping us make informed decisions. Like most husbands my husband was a bit nervous about the idea of home birthing but she walked us through everything and he felt very confident in her. During the birthing process she was so calm & supportive. During our birth she also made sure that my older daughter (12) was a part of the process which was so helpful in her feeling included...on top of her feeling included it has also sparked an interest in our older daughter about the whole natural birthing process. She didn't just change our lives by delivering our son, she changed our overall lifestyle by creating the dialogue for my husband and I to have conversations and really decide what's best for our family. Jessie made it possible for my husband and I to be equipped to have the most amazing experience of our lives! We look back on the day our son was born and we both agree it was the raddest thing we've ever done together & Jessie made all of that possible for us! read more

This review should have been written a year ago, as that was when my second child was born. I transfered care to Gold Soul Midwifery 30 weeks into my pregnancy after feeling like another number at my OB/GYN's office and feeling increasingly anxious about possibly facing unnecessary medical interventions for my second birth. From the Zoom interview, I felt like going with Jessie was the right choice. She is an incredible midwife, a beautiful and sincere human being and a great mama! I really felt empowered with the information she presented so that my husband and I could make informed choices when it came to our birth plan and beyond. She also kept me calm during prodromal labor, as frustrating as it was. When it was go-time (from early to active labor), the process went so quickly! Jessie and another midwife, along with my doula, were integral during active labor in keeping me calm, motivated and also when to try and get some rest. While my dream of delivering via water birth at home did not go to plan, I still appreciate and loved the prenatal and postpartum care I received while under Jessie's care. That alone made the cost worth it! I highly recommend Jessie R. and Gold Soul Midwifery if you're looking for personalized, genuine, educated and compassionate prenatal, postpartum and homebirth services! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Jessie. She's one of those souls that just connects to you on every level upon meeting. I think that's important in her line of work. She was the assistant to my midwife in 2017 and I'm dying to work with her again once baby 2 comes. Don't walk, run to her for any of her services, she's definitely worth every penny. read more

Hiring Jessie as our Doula was one of the best things we've ever done. I honestly cannot imagine how the birth of our daughter would have gone if she was not there. Even though I had to have medical attention in a hospital, Jessie was there to guide my husband and I every step of the way. She would present us with information BEFORE the nurses/midwives/doctors (she knows SO much). This allowed my husband and I to talk through important medical decisions before we were put on the spot by hospital staff. She supported my husband as we was able to leave for short breaks and get food/coffee. She supported me by helping me get in beneficial positions, helping turn my daughter to avoid c-section, and use essential oils to help through moments of discomfort (at my request). She was a huge source of medical information, a huge source of comfort, she was the ultimate support. She also took a ton of photos for us, which I appreciate it. I also love that she did a postpartum visit. It was so helpful in processing my labor/delivery and setting realistic expectations for healing and 4th trimester. I would 100%, without hesitation, recommend Jessie. You won't regret it. read more

Where to begin... From the minute I first met Jessie I knew she needed to be at my birth. After 4 hospital births I was finally getting my home birth. This was a day that I had wanted for so long. Jessie connected with me on another level and knew what I needed before I even did. She understood my concerns and my desires after a not so great hospital experience. I could go on for days about her but the one thing that I'll never forget is her calming voice and gentle spirit. Hands down she completed my birth team. read more

Jessie is amazing! She helped me achieve a VBAC with my second and I 100% know I wouldn't have been successful without her. She is such an amazing person to have at your birth and my husband agrees. It took some pressure off of him! She is very knowledgeable, compassionate and a great person to have in your corner. I can't say enough great things about her!! read more

Jessie was an essential part of my daughter's 32 hour home birth! She is someone that just instantly makes every feel at ease and in a great mood when you are around her. She provided constant, unwavering emotional and physical comfort throughout my labor. She danced with me to relax my mood and body, she did hands on counter pressure during contractions, she graciously cooled my face with a wash cloth and kept me hydrated. Her suggestions for movement and labor positions were great and kept things moving along. Her insight and education during the prenatal stage was incredible and made myself and my husband completely confident to welcome our baby at home. Our prenatal meetings went over everything we needed to prepare and mentally process through together as a family. I was so very grateful for her warm, nurturing, joyful, humble and caring presence at my first birth. She is clearly so passionate about being a midwife and monitrice doula and was meant for this sacred work. I had a water birth and during the pushing phase I was ready to throw in the towel. Jessie's words of affirmation and encouragement, along with her hands on comfort were so powerful and gave me the extra motivation I needed to get through it and welcome my baby into my arms. My husband said she was worth every penny and more. I agree! Jessie processed my placenta after birth and it was a seamless experience. It helped balance my moods and energy. It may be anecdotal, but my milk supply was overflowing as well. Lastly, Jessie made sure to show up at my house after birth to check in on me and my baby. She sat and processed with me, made me food, affirmed my feelings and helped with our breastfeeding latch. Y'all are in seriously good hands with Jessie Rhoads Rockwell. She's an amazing soul and a expert when it comes to all things pregnancy, birth, lactation, and newborns. read more

Jessie is one of a kind and I'm so grateful I got to meet her. She was a student working with my midwife at the time and she has the best personality! She has a gift of making you feel loved and cared for and is so encouraging and uplifting. If I were living near her I would definitely have her attend any of my births in the future. She gives 110% to her clients and she cares. read more

This review is longgggggg overdue. I could not even begin to put into words how special Jessica is to me and my family. She is beyond amazing and it is because of her that I was able to have a freaking magical VBAC (vaginal birth) after a very very traumatic emergency c-section 21 months prior. Every step of the way she connected with me, listened to me,was always there to answer to call any time of the day or night, helped me, guided me, provided incredible knowledge and supported me and my birth plan. She is freaking amazing, and everyone needs a Jessica as a part of their birth. I love her for everything she did for us and she is an amazing human!!!!! read more

What are you looking for in a birth support person? Someone kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, funny, competent? Someone who will support you in all of your decisions, while informing you of all of your different options? Someone who has utmost trust in the divine capabilities of the female body to birth babies naturally, while at the same time having experience and confidence in helping you navigate any sort of situation - good or bad - that may come up during your pregnancy or birthing time? I found that person in Jessie. She's an amazing support person to have in your corner during pregnancy and birth. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

I originally hired Jessie to encapsulate my placenta for me since she came highly recommended. But it just so happened that she was also training at the same birthing center where we were birthing our son at, so she was able to assist with his birth, too! She was AMAZING. Her presence alone is very comforting and calming, something you definitely want in your birth experience. I remember my labor was progressing very quickly and so contractions were getting intense. She coached me on how to work through them with more control, so that I not only made more progress with each one but also so I didn't ruin my vocal cords for life. My pisces son was born safely into the water in no time (ok 6 hours but that's fast!) with her help. She sat by the tub while I bathed afterwards and gave some words of praise and encouragement for the journey I had just begun. A couple days later she brought me my placenta capsules which I believe kept me from getting PPD, something that runs in my family. We've kept in touch since and she continues to be a positive presence in my life. She has a heart of gold and genuinely cares for her clients. I couldn't recommend her enough!! read more

It's hard to put in words how much we loved having Jessie as a part of our home birth! Jessie brought a calm and peaceful presence that always left me feeling confident and secure. Through out our apts to the day of, Jessie felt like one of my life long friends. I can still hear her chorus of encouragements and affirmations as I was pushing my son into this world. We also used Jessie for our placenta encapsulation, which she was of course also amazing with! She took care of my placenta, but not until after showing it to my husband and I and talking us through all of its miraculous ways. She came back a few days later to deliver the capsules to our home. That day happen to be a tough day with nursing, and although she was just there to drop off the capsules, she sat down with me and helped us work on a better latch. You just don't get this kind of love in care anywhere else! read more

I have worked with Jessie professionally in many different capacities. Her wisdom and knowledge is irreplaceable. She is a true JEM to the childbirth community. I would recommend Jessie wholeheartedly to anyone for any birth situation. You won't be let down. read more

Jessie saved my birth experience! I could not have asked for a more supportive, kinder, stronger, goddess of a doula. She really helped both my husband and I navigate a difficult birth experience. Her caring and compassion is palpable and her expertise made her invaluable. I am so very thankful to have found her and feel blessed that I get to know her. Highly recommend!!! read more

I am a practicing Obstetrician in Orange County and have worked with a number of Doulas over the years. I recommend Doulas to my patients because they provide so much extra care and assistance throughout the pregnancy and postpartum period. Especially in the hospital where nurses are so busy, they can't give one to one care like a Doula can. I have worked with Jessie a number of times and feel that she exemplifies the Doula that I enjoy working with. She is warm, compassionate, and helps create the team approach. She works well with the hospital staff. She has been extremely helpful reassuring my patients when things didn't go as planned. She is also a Hypnobirth educator which I have found to be an excellent method if a Mother-to-be prefers a non-medicated, less intervention birth. read more

I used Jessie as my doula for the birth of my first child in May 2018. Met with her December of 2017 when I was 18 weeks and she was so friendly and informative that I hired her immediately without interviewing anyone else. She stayed in contact with me throughout my pregnancy to see how I was doing emotionally and physically, due to my complications from hyperemesis gravidarum that resulted in my vomiting up until the end of my pregnancy. The morning I went into labor she responded to me quickly despite my water breaking at 530am. She checked in periodically and told my husband to let her know when she should head over. By the time she arrived I had been in labor for 6 hours and was in tears and ready to go to the hospital, but she was able to calm me down and help me through the contractions for another 4 hours before heading to the hospital. When my doctor wanted to start pitocin, she was able to help us weigh our options and I declined the pitocin because labor was progressing. After 16 hours of labor, I was disappointed in myself for deciding to get the epidural but she was able to provide me the emotional support I needed and reassure me that I was doing my best. She stood by me during the pushing phase of labor and provided the encouragement I needed to keep pushing and let me know that my baby was almost there. After my daughter was born, Jessie helped me breastfeed her for the first time. She checked in multiple times over the next few days and provided words of encouragement and advice to help me get through the emotional roller coaster I was experiencing. The placenta pills and salve she made have helped tremendously. Despite it being close to 2 months since my daughter was born, Jessie still checks in and answers any questions I have. For anyone considering having a doula, I highly recommend it and you can't go wrong with going with Jessie. My husband was with me from the beginning of labor and he was my rock, but we couldn't have done it without Jessie. She provided different comfort measures and helped keep me moving to keep labor progressing. She also provided information so we could make the best decisions possible during labor. I will be using her again for any additional children my husband and I decide to have. read more

I knew from the first phone consultation that Jessie was the doula for me. I just had my 2nd baby girl two weeks ago and I so badly wanted to have a vbac. With Jessies help and guidance I was able to accomplish my amazing vbac and an added bonus for me, I got my all natural vbac! When I felt that I was losing control of my breathing, Jessie was right there to remind me to breathe through and remided me also of my birth plan goals. I was skeptical to hire a doula, but I am SO glad I did, and glad someone told me about Jessie. If you are looking for an experienced, kind, & attentive doula Jessie is your girl!! read more

First of all if you are on the fence if you need or should have a doula during your birth DO IT! And yes then if you're debating who you should chose.. chose Jessie! She was an amazing support all throughout pregnancy, during birth, and today I can still call her an amazing friend. Every birth and every body is different but for me my birth at Hoag Hospital (ob was Dr.Kent) was absolutely perfect. Obviously, I did most of the hard work and my husband was there but Jessie helped make the scariest and most rewarding experience of my life the most amazing one ever! God truly gave her a gift when it comes to everything baby and doula and the gift just explodes out of her during the birthing process. She makes you feel like you can do this( and you need that because you will want to give up) and has a energy coming out of her that radiates onto you and before you know it you did the hardest thing ever and you have a baby in your arms! Like I said every birth is different but no matter how it goes or the fears you may have if Jessie is your doula you will be trusting one gifted woman. I love you Jessie!! read more

Jessie attended both my hospital births as my doula. The reasons I picked her was her calming persona, her personal experience with using hypnobirthing for her second daughter's delivery, and her vast experience at hundreds of births. Jessie was the loving mother figure in the room when our mothers couldn't be there. And while I do not plan to have more children, if I do, I will be using Gold Soul Midwifery because I don't have babies without Jessie by my side! read more

Jessie is one of the main reasons I was able to achieve a successful VBAC. I will never forget her face after I did it! She was one of the biggest support systems I had through my pregnancy. She brought peace and calming to me while I was in labor. She always finds a way to calm me down as I am a high strung person and I will be forever grateful to her. I am currently expecting my 3rd child and happen to be due on Jessie's birthday! We are doing hypnobirthing with her this time around and I can't wait to have another VBAC with her by our side. She is a great support for not only me, but my husband as well. He was the one who said "let's call Jessie" when we found out I was pregnant again. She also encapsulated my placenta and we will be doing that again this time. She has become a great friend and we love her so much! You will love her just as much as we do. read more

Jessie helped me so much with everything during my pregnancy. Having that support was incredible. I was high risk and needed help! Before and after delivery she had my best interest. Can't imagine anyone better. read more

I highly recommend Jessie Rhoads Feather and Fawn Birth . Jessie was my doula for the birth of our little guy. From our first conversation I knew I was speaking to an incredibly knowledgeable, articulate, supportive woman who is so passionate about childbirth. Even though our plans went out the window, Jessie helped guide us navigate emotional decisions every single step of the way! She was our rock!! Through the entire process from the home visits, phone support, being with us through the birth and post partum visits, Jessie has been there for us with her extensive experience and kind heart. Could not be more grateful read more

Jessie is quite simply amazing!!! She spends so much time educating, addressing concerns and answering questions to make sure you/your partner are as ready as possible for birth. From the home visits to the countless text messages, Jessie supported us throughout my entire pregnancy. Jessie brings a very calming energy with her the day of the birth, which is exactly what we were needing. She spent the entire day with us at Hoag and was instrumental throughout the day, especially around the 20th hour of labor. She was a rock in our delivery room; she was nurturing and loving but also a neutral third party that was able to be a voice of reason when emotions were running high. I am so thankful for Jessie, I do not know what we would have done without her and we will definitely be using her again in the future. Jessie also did my placenta encapsulation and post party doula support, needless today both services were nothing short of perfection. read more

I wish I could give Jessie 10 stars! When I think back to our prenatal care and home birth I get tears in my eyes. Jessie loved us. My husband was sick and she would come to our house to bring him her home made bone broth. We were completely supported and loved through our entire journey. She became family. I will never forget the relief and excitement when I saw her face walk in to my bathroom. It confirmed it was really happening. Every birth is special and magical, but I like to think ours was something a little deeper because she was apart of it. Austin is lucky to have her! read more

I am a labor and delivery RN, as well as a midwife student. I have worked with countless doulas over the years and can honestly say Jessie is one of the very best! In the busy Hospital setting where nurses cannot always be at the bedside 100% of the time, Jessie gives continual support to her patients and helps them in any way possible. She has a way of keeping her patients at peace during what can be a very nerve-racking day. Additionally, she is very respectful to the patients, families, hospital staff, and doctors. She is very knowledgeable in childbirth and helps us ensure a safe birth, while promoting the patients wishes. I would definitely recommend her to anyone! read more

After the first 15 mins sitting down to talk to Jessie, we knew we had hit the jackpot. Her knowledge of birth and her experience as a birth worker is so impressive. My husband and I felt completely supported by Jessie throughout the entire birth process. She was instrumental in cultivating an incredibly empowering experience for myself and my partner. I honestly cannot thank her enough for what she did during our labor and delivery. She was with us for such a long time as I labored for quite a while, and literally was holding up all my weight at certain points so I could try pushing in different positions to find what worked best for me. She is AMAZING. You deserve it to yourself to check out Feather and Fawn! read more
